Help Me Be…
by: Ronovan
I heard you crying
I asked what for
You said it was nothing
As I headed for the door
I heard you sighing
Now I knew you were lying
So I turned around
And walked the floor
Why do you do that
Why can’t you just be real
I’m just a man
I inherently don’t know the deal
I want to know you
I want to be helped to grow
Just let me listen
By telling me what for
I heard you crying
I asked you what for
You said it was nothing
I ignored you to the core
Now I hold you
I listen to you breathing
No words are coming
But I know you are healing
Help me be a man
The only one I was meant to be
I don’t know what is keeping
Keeping me from being free

Thank you! Men are simple. Women own the beautiful words. Such as a poem “Sealed with a Kiss”. I am envious of how women can do that with seeming ease. Hope you don’t mind a new Follower.
